The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

How could Zhu Dingyuan be angry? When he saw Zhao Yue coming, he no longer had the heart to read the memorial.

Every time he saw her, from her innocent and pure appearance at the beginning, to her alluring charm at night, to her cute and lively appearance now, she always gave him a different kind of heartbeat.

Zhu Dingyuan took a deeper breath and said, "I insisted on having you come. If anyone accuses you of something, I will definitely protect Yue'er."

Zhao Yue leaned against him, unceremoniously using the emperor as a backrest, and scratched his palm with her small hand, teasing him: "With your majesty protecting Yue'er, Yue'er is not afraid of anything."

Zhu Dingyuan's heart began to beat, and he vaguely returned to the time when he was eighteen or nineteen years old and just began to fall in love. He held her tighter and said, "I haven't asked you yet, when is your birthday?"

Zhao Yue's eyes darkened, and the smile on her lips faded: "First snow, my birthday is the day of the first snow."

"No wonder Yue'er's skin is as white as snow." Zhu Dingyuan's eyes were burning. He stroked her delicate cheek with his fingers, then slowly slid down, across her slender neck, and landed on her lapel.

Zhao Yue held him down and said, "Your Majesty, you promised not to go and see the flowers. What if that maid said it? Wouldn't I have offended the Imperial Concubine?"

There was a mist in her eyes: "Yue'er is scared."

Zhu Dingyuan smelled the sweet scent of the crabapple on her body and pinched her cheek affectionately: "I am here, you can go with me, okay?"

"Okay." Zhaoyue reached out and fed the fruit next to him into his mouth.

Zhu Dingyuan swallowed it in one gulp, his eyes were tearful when he looked at her. If the beauties in the harem saw this, they would definitely scold Zhaoyue harshly: "Fox bitch!"

Yanxi Palace.

"Your Majesty is here!"

The maid Caiyue seemed to have been guarding the door all the time. When she saw Zhu Dingyuan coming down, she quickly bowed.

Zhu Dingyuan: "Where is the imperial concubine?"

"In Hua Danying's room, the queen ordered the servant to wait for Your Majesty."

Zhao Yue snorted inwardly when he heard this. It would be better to wait for His Majesty and let him go for a walk.

Zhu Dingyuan stepped into Hua's promised Yanhui Garden.

There were two imperial doctors standing inside. Concubine Gao turned around and bowed gently. When she saw Zhaoyue behind Zhu Dingyuan, her movements froze. "Your Majesty."

Zhu Dingyuan asked her to get up, but went straight to the bed without looking at her. Concubine Gao quickly ordered someone to bring a chair. As for Zhaoyue, she was of course ignored.

She was somewhat speechless: "Hello, Imperial Concubine." Then she stood beside Zhu Dingyuan.

Except for the Queen, even Zhu Dingyuan couldn't remember Hua Ni's appearance clearly, because he drank too much that day.

But when Zhao Yue saw it clearly, he was a little surprised. It was not that she was ugly, nor was she stunningly beautiful. Rather, it was that she had something that other women in the palace did not have.

She has oval cheeks, fair skin, and long, upturned eyes. Her lips are round but slender, which makes her look charming and naive. Hua Ni's lips look like a snake, with a small mole on her lips. Her every frown and smile is very charming.

She came from the brothel world and is not an ignorant little girl. The means of seducing men and the charm of brothels are ingrained in her bones.

If she had existed in the previous life, Zhaoyue would probably not have a place on the bed.

But Zhu Dingyuan was a little disappointed: "I heard that you were ill, so I came to see what happened."

Hua Ni's lips were pale, but she looked fine. She glanced at Concubine Gao and said, "It rained heavily yesterday. I wanted to try out the new dance I learned in the rain, but I forgot the time and caught a cold."

"Really? Then what about your maid crying and asking the imperial physician for help?"

She started to cough, and Concubine Gao quickly covered her nose in grievance: "It was this Imperial Doctor Jiang whom I invited yesterday."

Doctor Jiang knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have agreed to treat her. Her symptoms were indeed mild at that time. Apart from a sprained ankle, she was fine!"

Another doctor, He, who was older than him, said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Jiang is my student. I just checked his pulse and found that he was weak and loose inside. He must have eaten something cold, which caused acid reflux and vomiting and diarrhea, which is why he suddenly had a high fever that wouldn't go away."

Zhu Dingyuan said, "So, you're saying that after you agreed to treat her, she got an upset stomach and that made her cold worse?"

Doctor He bowed and said, "I have checked the pharmacy opened by my students and found no negligence."

"So it was your maid who exaggerated and caused such a big misunderstanding?" Zhu Dingyuan: "You don't need to keep your maid to serve you anymore. She can't even speak clearly."

Hua Ni said, "Your Majesty, please spare her life. She said the wrong thing because she cared too much about me!"

When Concubine Gao saw that the matter had been settled, she said, "That maidservant was also worried because of her concern. She is just a little maid sent from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Your Majesty, please calm down."

"That's all." Zhu Dingyuan stood up, and Concubine Gao quickly took credit: "I ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch, would you like some, Your Majesty?"

He looked at Zhaoyue, who blinked sensibly: "I have something else to do in the palace, so I'll take my leave now."

Zhu Dingyuan rubbed her hand, and when leaving with Concubine Gao, he suddenly said, "Now that you have entered the palace, don't call me concubine all the time. Concubine Gao is gentle and kind, so follow her and learn more about etiquette."

Concubine Gao's eyes were filled with joy: "I will definitely teach Hua Ying well."

Hua Ni sat on the bed and her body froze: "Yes."

Zhao Yue was about to leave, but Bao Er stopped her and said, "Please stay, my lady. I promise to see you."

Taoxi called out, "Young Master..." She was a little worried.

"Go find Xiao Quanzi and wait for me outside."

Zhaoyue went in again. The small room felt much more spacious without the crowds of people. Hua Ni kept coughing, and when she saw her coming, she lifted the quilt.

Her ankle was injured, and she stood up with difficulty, then knelt down directly in front of Zhaoyue.

Zhao Yue did not help him, but raised an eyebrow: "Hua promised that she would thank me."

The smile on her lips was meaningful: "Can you promise to do this to make people feel cold today? Did you really inflict this injury on yourself?"

Hua Ni kowtowed to her: "I kneel down to thank you for saving my life."

"That's all. What's the point of asking you to kowtow?"

Hua Ni looked at her and smiled: "I have nothing but my life, so you saved my life, I will remember it in my heart."

She stood up and took out a book from the bedside cabinet: "I present this to you, my lord."

Hua Ni said calmly, "This book is a unique skill of my Hua family. I never owe favors to anyone. I am offering this book to help you secure your place in the harem."

Zhao Yue glanced lazily, and when she opened it, her cheeks flushed: "You, you...what are you doing? How dare you bring such filthy things into the palace."

Hua Ni smiled and said, "My lady, if you don't try, how can you know? I am a mediocre person, but I can become an otome after practicing a little. Lady Zhao is extremely beautiful, so she will definitely be able to understand it."

Zhao Yue was speechless: "I don't want it!"

"My lady, please leave slowly." Hua Ni ordered the guest to leave immediately and threw the book out with her.

Zhaoyue had no choice but to pick it up and put it in her arms.

What a sin. I should have not saved her.

Baoer brought the medicine to the room: "Noble Zhao has left, my lady, please drink the medicine."

Hua Ni lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you, Bao'er. We are just master and servant, but you still protect me like this."

Bao Er shook her head and asked again: "Is Concubine Zhao angry for saying this in front of His Majesty today?" She blushed and said: "I have never seen such a beautiful person, and so kind."

Hua Ni drank the medicine. Yes, with such a person in front of His Majesty, how could she possibly snatch him away.

It is better to become the vines of a big tree and provide nutrients.

Leave yourself a way out.
